We CRATE CONCRETE.
A Crate Crovde and a Crate Success.

A Crate CrOyvde and Crate Success.
The old folks concert by the Beet
hoven society was given Tuesday even
ing before a crowded house. 1t was
necessarily similar in some respects to
the concert last year but was appar-
emily about as well enjoyed and much
better patronized. An antiquarian
supper served in the rooms below pre-
coded and followed the concert, the
tables at both times being crowded
with the hungry villagers. The chO-
rus numbering 20 or 80 marched in,
soc We towne folke could see they're
goode clothes, at 7.3O, and then we
fyddlers and pipers tuned uppe and
the concert began under the direction
of Uncle Hezekiah B. Humphrey, tym-
est. The first wOrldlye songe was by
MEME singers Tyler, Hazen, Hum
phrey and May and told the pathetic
story of the two brothers, one of whom
quest. In the absence of one of the
wOmenne singers Heightened Piper
Tyler repeated the story of King
George the Third, which was loudly
applauded, and then Uncle Abram
Talleboye May rendered the solo of
aye olde grave digger" which was
deservedly encOred, when he sang the
story of aye Olde oaken bucket" The
last time he was accompanied on the
piano by Uncle Hezekiah Barber,
whose bigge legges appeared to CRATE
advantage from under the Instruments.
During the intervals between the sing
gin land the intervals sometimes SEEM
ed unnecessarilie lOng) the wOmenne
singers chewed gum in fast metre to
the CRATE edificatiOn of the audience,
and Perrywynckle HornblOwer blew
his nose so funnilie us to receive vo-
ciferOus encore.
Before the seconde parte began
Goodman Bowen favored the company
with a sample of We Olde fashioned syl-
liable singing to the intense satisfac-
ton of the audience which insisted on
a repetition. Among the notable fea-
lures of the second part of the program
was the singing of aye olde arm CHAIR"
which was moste charminglie perform
ed by Mrs. Mehtable HollyhOck Haz-
en-, who responded to the encore with
a very wOrldlye sOnge about girl
who loved her beau. Mrs. H. X. Ide
sang the solo part of code folks at
home" very finely, being accompanied
by We whole quire on We chorus. The
wOrldlye tune "COusin Jedediah" has
been sung here heretofore but was
never better done than on this occa-
sion when it was sung by Mrs. Hum
phrey, Mrs. Hazen, Mr.. Hazen and
Mr.. Page. The audience l,ffed so
hard and so much that the singers re-
peated the last verse. aye Invite to
We Crate Supper" was rendered by
fore of We singers, Mrs. Page, Mrs.
Mcneil and Messrs. Humphrey and
May and was loudly clapped. A good
ly number of the selections were old
time religious tunes which were well
sung by the bigge quire and well di-'
rected by Tymest Humphrey. Miss
Ina Howe presided at the piano with
much grace and skill and the St.
JOhusbury orchestra added much to
the pleasure of the concerto by skill
fully performing on their fyddles and
pipes. In a wOrldlye sense the con-
cert was an immense success and will
help out on the financial disappoint-
ments attending other musical VEN
lures by local organizations.

Mr.. and Mrs. Warren EstabrOOks OF

per one evening last week. The cen

on either side were curtained, and
eighty-fve people, including husbands
of the ladies belonging to the circle,
and few invited friends, sat down to
as sumptuOus a repast as ever graced
any table-so they all said. 1t was
quite an unusual affair and greatly EN-

Reckless, or Careless.

Reckless, or Careless.
AS Walter Wright of the Centre was
driving down Main street Thursday
evening with his granddaughter, Miss
Hattie Bartlett, and when opposite
Music hall they were run against by Il
man driving up the street, the shaft
of the sleigh striking Miss Bartlett in
the shoulder and causing painful in
jury, though the surgeon who was i'm
mediately called thinks no bones were
broken. The NAH who caused the
trouble did not turn out at all but kept
the middle of the street. Mr.. Wright
called out to him but to no purpose,
and the man drove off without giving
his name or seeming to care about the
damage done. When Miss Bartlett
saw the collision inevitable she leaned
as far as possible into the sleigh and
thereby may have saved her life. The
careless or reckless driving on our
streets may yet cause serious accident.

be circulated for signatures urging the
establishment of this route. Business

will sign the document.
